Master the art of pasta-making in this epic Ravioli cooking class, live with a chef from Italy

If we could assign only one word to describe Ravioli, it would be perfect. We would change nothing, we would add nothing, it's perfect, just as it is.


The word Ravioli is derived from the Italian word "riavvolgere" which means, to wrap. Each Ravioli wraps a little treat, a surprise, inside. This beloved stuffed pasta is largely believed to have been invented in Italy in the 14th century and was of course influenced by the various dumplings in different parts of the world. The Italian version had its own history and influence as it traveled throughout the region adapting to local traditions and ingredients. In Tuscany, Ravioli is often stuffed with cheese and potatoes, a spiced pumpkin version is popular in the Lombardia region. And of course, with time, shapes and fillings have evolved, as well. There's Tortellini in Emilia-Romagna, Piemonte has Agnolotti, there's Casoncelli in Liguria, Sardinian Culurgioni and many, many more. 


While sometimes considered a labour of love, our chefs will teach you the joy of making your own stuffed pasta at home. In this epic private virtual pasta-making class, one of our chefs will video call into your kitchen, live from Italy. Together you'll master the most iconic versions of all Raviolo. You'll make pasta from scratch step-by-step with your chef, live from Italy. You'll be asked to squeeze your dough to ensure it's the perfect texture. You'll learn different pasta shapes; you'll laugh your way from beginner to near perfection as you learn how to close your tortellini. And you'll share stories as you make two fillings and two luxurious sauces. This cooking class is one everyone should take. And after your class, as you say goodbye to your personal chef and new friend, you'll enjoy one of the most perfect meals, ever. 


Important: A pasta-maker is required for this class. If you want to learn how to make fresh pasta but don't have a pasta maker, we recommend our Fresh Pasta & Ragu class or our Orecchiette class

My husband bought me the Ravioli class for my birthday in September so I thought it would be fun for us to do the class on his birthday today! From the moment Carlotta came on the screen we knew we were in good hands! She was organized, laid back, encouraging and so much fun to cook with. My husband and I took the class seriously because we love to cook and really wanted to learn. Everything came out incredible! So much so that my mother and brother came over after and we tau… See More

What an amazing experience! Through a little online research, I found The Chef and The Dish for my foodie husband’s 50th birthday. There are so many delicious courses offered. He decided on the pasta making class with Ravioli and Tortellini. The first step was a prep class the weekend before with the Kitchen Assistant. She went over the ingredient list, tools needed, made sure our Skype was working, and asked a lot of questions about our background… See More

The Chef & The Dish fell nothing short of phenomenal. Such a personal and authentic experience! Chef Carlotta, our lovely guide, showed us around Naples in such a beautiful way! We couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. The food was outstanding, as was the wine and the company. Absolutely recommend this for anyone who loves good food and having fun in the kitchen. It made us beginners feel like total professionals. We will keep this with us forever!

The Chef & The Dish was a birthday gift from my wife and we had a blast cooking with Chef Carlotta. She was excellent and laughed along with us as we navigated the journey of making homemade ravioli. She helped us troubleshoot our pasta roller, was patient, and is overall a great teacher. We were very happy with our experience and the food was amazing. We learned two sauces, two fillings, and two types of pasta. Well worth our time. It was a very unique birthday and one we won't forget.
